I'm now playing Silver online, so I don't have to worry about the save file crapping out. Anyway, I just beat the Team Rocket grunts in the Slowpoke Well and got the Lure Ball from Kurt. I'm about to go fight Bugsy, and then go into the Ilex Forest to find that guy so I can get Cut.

Defeated team rocket in the radio tower and got rainbow wing.
Climbed the tower with HoOh. Saved in front of HoOh. Wish me luck because my pokemon are underleveled and all I have is 40 great balls and one fast ball. Have tryed twice with no success. Still saved before battling HoOh so trying over and over until I get it.=P

Finally caught HoOh the other day.
Defeated the rest of the gyms in Johto.

Got to the Pokemon league and strangely was underleveled. I knew speeding through wasn't such a great idea. Never try and beat the league with level 30's.=/

So I'm training for the league now. Reaaranged a few Pokemon in my team. The fact that my eevee still hadn't evolved by the time it got to level 42 after training all day yesterday told me that I made a mistake when training it. So I've bred it and got a fresh egg.

Saw suicune twice while training Jumpluff. The first time Jumpluff out ran it but it's sleep powder missed. Suicune ran.
The second time my Jumpluff was paralysed from a previous battle so it couldn't outrun suicune.

YAY!!!
i'm extremely lucky because i just won the masterball at the radio tower!
anyway i caught a ditto and put it in with eevee and took eevee and an egg out. training both until they become an umbreon and an espeon.

I never played the gold or siver games, so I decided to go all out and got mself crystal a few weeks ago. I just gave the secret potion to Jasmine in the lighthouse, and now I'm gonna train my team to take on her and the fighting gym. Current team:

ATM I'm at Goldenrod, haven't challenged Whitney yet, still training my Magby until it's around 23 or something. Also planning to catch a Nidoran, still waiting for the right time.
I'm very lucky to hatch a Magby right away btw, I was planning to keep resetting until I have Magby.

Currently trying to complete as much as I can of the Pokedex in Crystal (Now at 220/240 My link cable broke and I'm out of evolution stones TT~TT(At least I got all the Fire,Thunder, Water, and Sun Stone Evo Pokemon already)). Hatching a few eggs, although I forgot what's in them XD.

Got a bunch of updates from my last update a month ago. Beat Chuck in the Cianwood Gym, currently training up and catching pokemon before I face Jasmine. Going to teach Fire Punch to Vulpix (if it can learn it), Thunderpunch to Voltorb, and Icepunch to Croconaw.

I'm sure you've all done the one pokemon from the start challenge, where you use your starter, and take on every trainer, and gym and event with just the one pokemon, so who'd you guys use? I started off with Cyndaquil and just got the 8th badge. Elite 4 Ahoy.

Going to teach Fire Punch to Vulpix (if it can learn it), Thunderpunch to Voltorb, and Icepunch to Croconaw.

Do you have any idea how this game works at all? How the hell would Vulpix learn any punches? IT DOESN'T HAVE HANDS. And Voltorb. IT'S A BALL. IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY APPENDAGES AT ALL.

----------------

Anyway, as for me...

Actually playing Crystal on VBA (Yeah yeah, I'm not talking all about it, don't whine at me), just started... Chose Cyndaquil for my starter. I've gotten through Goldenrod already, beat those three gyms. My team is currently just .... lvl 25 I think Golbat, and 25 Quilava. Oh! And 21 Sudowoodo for now too. I wanted a Marowak, but I can't get a Cubone till I'm in Kanto, so I'll have to wait. This is the team I want when all is said and done:

First off, way to be a jerk for no reason. I wasn't thinking at the moment. Until just recently, I hadn't even touched a Pokemon game or even read anything about it in 4 years. Do you think I remember every single little detail about how the game works? Yeah, balls can't throw punches, but italian plumbers can't spit fireballs from eating a certain kind of plant, mice can't store and charge electricity, hedgehogs don't have legs and can't run at the speed of light, etc. IT'S A VIDEO GAME. IT BARELY APPLYS LOGIC AT ALL. So insulting me for thinking something as dumb as a ball throwing punches in a *VIDEO GAME* is possible is just downright ridiculous. Sorry for being so off-topic and overreacting, but I'm tired of every internet forum insulting people who make simple mistakes and aren't exactly experts at the forum's topic like they're retards who don't have any brains. Not to mention those who think people that make simple mistakes once or twice didn't read the rules or acquire a slight knowledge of the topic and are only there to say YEAH POKEMAN RULZ LOLZEORZ!!!1

Now then, I've decided to take somewhat of a break before facing Jasmine, because my Pokemon still have a lot of training to do. My lowest level Pokemon is 7 levels below the first pokemon in her team, so I still have plenty of training to do. I also went to Dark Cave, now equipped with Flash and Surf, to catch a Wobbuffet. As I was about to exit, I was thinking about trying to get a Dunsparce, and I wondering why they're so rare- when, lo and behold, a Dunsparce appeared! Lol, I didn't plan on using it as I never use Normal types due to their lack of advantages, but I thought it was really cool that he appeared right after I thought that sentence. I caught a Hoothoot for pure Fly Slave purposes. Maybe I'll train it up to become a real member of the team later but for now it's just an HM slave.

I'm also thinking about dumping the Bellossom. He doesn't know ANY Grass moves that do good damage, and I can't find any good Grass TM's at the moment. I made the dumb mistake of accidently deleting the Absorb move for freaking Cut. Maybe I will train up the Hoothoot and keep the Bellossom as an HM Slave (it also knows Flash). Grass types aren't the most important type to have in the game, and the two types they're best against can also be easily defeated by Electric (Water) and Water (Rock/Ground). I also caught a Meowth and a Magnemite in Route 38. Let's see, what else is there....oh yeah, I'm about to explore the rest of Union Cave and find that exit that goes to the Ruins of Alph. I want to catch a Natu there. Found Suicune in Route 38, but I wasn't nearly ready for it as I only had Poke Balls and Great Balls, and my Pokemon were way below his level. So he'll have to wait until I advance farther. ....And I guess that's about it. I haven't had much time to play pokemon due to studying for this week's state test and doing a report for one of my classes.

Geez. I forgot how easy Kanto was... Beat all 8 gyms there in no time. My stuff is all 45-47 now. I've seen Raikou twice, but the first time I just screwed up, and the second time I had my Seadra out; switched to Umbreon to Mean Look, and it fled. Oh well....

I want to get a Thunder Stone from Lass Dana already and get a Jolteon. Not sure what it'll replace... I kinda want to get rid of Crobat, but I'd need to find a new flier then. Think I might replace Miltank with something too, not sure what though.

I just caught a Miltank while looking for the remaining 2 dogs that I need to capture. (Raikou & Entei) I'm also leveling my Togepi by Exp. Share, so I battled the E4 again. Here's my current team in Gold (which is still the same a long tome ago):

Oh well, might just as well..
I got bored running through the E4, so finally I took Red on with a team composed of L64 and L65 Pokemon... They won though.

I used...
Meganium on Pikachu and Espeon (EQ and Solarbeam)
Dragonite on Charizard (Thunderbolt)
Magmar on Venusaur (Sunny Day effect from Meganium still on plus Flamethrower)
Nidoking on Snorlax (Two or three EQs) and
Slowbro on Blastoise (Psychic'd him, he Surfed me, lol)

Oh well, planning to play LttP soon, think I'll stop playing Pokemon for a while.

I recently swept through all of Kanto with ease. As someone said above, I forgot just how easy it was, which shows how rushed it really was (but that's something to be talked about elsewhere).

Anyway, i'm pretty pleased with how my Crystal adventure planned out. I believe it's the first time i've played through GSC where i've trained my Pokemon with equal attention. I look at my Silver file to find my Meganium at Level 50-odd before the Elite 4, with my next highest Pokemon being an Alakazam that was traded to me at Lv.45. Then I just have a Goldeen and Pidgeotto - both under-levelled. Meanwhile, my Crystal team is very balanced, and I am now ready to train it so that it can take on Red.
